602009 - Miller 1/4-20 x 1.25 Grade 8 Socket Head Cap Screw

Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware

When it comes to maintaining the structural integrity and reliability of your welding equipment, every component matters—right down to the individual screws. The Miller 602009 Screw is a genuine OEM replacement part designed specifically for Miller Electric machinery. This is not just a standard hardware store fastener; it is a high-specification component selected by Miller engineers to withstand the rigors of industrial environments.

This particular screw features a 1/4-20 UNC thread pitch and a length of 1.25 inches, making it a common yet critical size for securing panels, internal components, and chassis elements. The "250-20" designation in the specification refers to the 0.250-inch diameter (1/4 inch) and 20 threads per inch count. Using the correct thread pitch is vital to prevent cross-threading or damaging the tapped holes in your expensive welding machine.

High-Strength Grade 8 Construction

One of the standout features of this screw is its Grade 8 rating. In the world of fasteners, Grade 8 represents a high level of tensile strength, significantly stronger than the common Grade 5 or unrated fasteners found in general hardware bins. This high strength is essential for welding machines that may be subjected to vibration during transport or operation. A Grade 8 screw is less likely to shear, stretch, or deform under load, ensuring that your machine stays tightly assembled.

Precision Socket Head Design

The screw utilizes a Socket Head (Soc HD) design with a hex drive. This allows for precise tightening using a hex key (Allen wrench). Socket heads are preferred in machinery because they can be tightened to higher torque specifications than Phillips or slotted screws without the tool slipping (camming out). Additionally, the cylindrical head profile fits into recessed counterbores often found on machine casings, providing a flush and professional finish.

By choosing genuine Miller parts like the 602009, you ensure that your equipment remains within factory specifications. Whether you are performing a routine repair or replacing a lost fastener during maintenance, this screw provides the peace of mind that comes with using the exact part intended for the job.
